Though results did not drive major changes to services, several important improvements were implemented and a process was established to serve as a foundation for future use.

    Courting Apocalypse: Creating a Zombie-Themed Evidence-Based Medicine Game
    (Taylor & Francis, 2017) Blevins, Amy E.; Kiscaden, Elizabeth; Bengtson, Jason; Ruth Lilly Medical Library, School of Medicine
    In 2015, two librarians at the Hardin Library for the Health Sciences at the University of Iowa turned their dreams into a reality and secured funding to build a zombie-themed evidence-based medicine game. The game features a “choose your own adventure” style that takes students through a scenario where a disease outbreak is taking place and a resident is asked to use evidence-based medicine skills to select a screening and diagnostic tool to use on potentially infected patients. Feedback on the game has been positive, and future plans include building additional modules on therapy, harm, and prognosis.
